To Eaoh Snbscriber Personally.
Wo wish to apeak a word in the ear of each of our
patrona conrerning our Paper. Hold open your ears
that you may hear u—<nd your boaotua that you
may be influenced to hearken!
We.fuel satisfied that no Journal south of the Po- j
tomac, presents u more genteel appearance as a !
whole, (including the II?ad piece particularly) than ,
the Crusader, and we leave it to every individual of
U>*to to say whether we are not right. The enlarg
ing and making these improvements in the Paper has
coat us something of course; but trusting to the gen
erosity of our friends, and for tho sake of their pock- j
ots, wo have refused to increase the price. We !
“feel” for your purses (but you keep, the strings very j
tight) and wo would be pleased to have you culti- j
vate, in turn, sympathetic feeling for ours; for J
should you find it in its present flaccid state, you !
would note quite a resombknee between it and Dow
Jr.’s potatoo poolings lying at the end of a gutter —
“very much shrirttlej..”
Wo humbly entreat e;rch of onr friends to give os
a lift^every one has a neighbor or a relative whom
ho can influence with a word, to subscribe for onr
Paper, with iittie or no trouble to himself, and we
beseech you to speak to him. Show him your copy I
and he will give you his name. Every man is able, j
and under some obligation to subscribe to a paper of
the nature of ours. There wilt bo found in tho Cru
sader, besides its temperance principles, every varie
ty of matter usually published in public Journals,
and—ail far one Dolhrr.
Will our help us ? Wo aro constrained to
believe they will. We have a noble hearted and
philanthropise people in Georgia, over ready to np
hold every noble and praiseworthy enterprise, and
wo rely with groat confidence upon their intelligence
and appreciative nature. Fclhw-eitiscns—Ladies
and, Gentlemen--gite ns yonr encouragement.

Tbe Year 1855,
Th% year 1855 has ended. The days, weeks and j
months of which it was composed, have slowly roll
ed away and sank into the relentless waves of the
past. The events which marked its course, the plea
sures and troubles which it brought, have passed,
and no vestige of their existence remains. Nature
has passed through the mysterious changes of the
seasons, and again presents herself in the sombre
vestments of winter, affording the eye no evidence
that another Year has passed. The forests appear
as bare, tho fields as drear as they have. looked at the.
closo of all other years. Other years have brought
the same nipping frosts, to strip the trees of their
Summer verdure; tho same wintry winds to howl in
mournful cadences among their leafless branches,
tho same skies veiled in mantles of sable clouds.—
Upon the tablets of memory alone has it left its inef
faceable impress, and there alone can wo appeal for
tho assurance of the lapse of time. There, 1855 will
live forever. True, wo can name no extraordinary
events which will render it memorable in individual
history. Mankind have steadily pursued their rounds
on the treadmill of life; Pleasure has had its enjoy
ments, and Fashion its forms, and amid this universal
excitement, individual experience has been lost.—
But each one can for himself recall some thrill of joy,
or :-tomo pang of sorrow, which has left an impression
on the mind which will never bo removed. Fondest
hopes have be-sfc blighted, the most cherished antic
ipations disappointed, and Grief has “pressed the life
from out youu; hearts.” Many who hailed the year’s
dawn in all tho eagerness of excited hopes, now rest
in tho quiet of'tho grave. The ravages of disease,
tho storm on tho ocean, tho shock of tho earthquake,
fire and sword hav e swept away thousands from tho
sac-a 0 the earth, and consigned them to their final j
abode. The world knew not thc-ir names, lives and
fortunes, and mourned not for their deaths. But all
these events have left their impression on the indi- j
vidual heart, and made the past year memorable us j
the era of its affliction,
Tho year just ended, has brought to pass events in j
our country which will render it long to bo remcm* j
bered. During that time, political excitement reach-!
cd a height seldom equaled, and never surpassed.— |
From one extremity of our land to tho other, the j
wiki fury of Party Hpirlt raged unrestrained, Tho 1
ambitious demagogue, burning with pretended aval I
for hifi country’s welfare, ranged to and fro. making 1
spec-chea,” and practicing the wiles of polit j
■1 intrigue. But this, though “full of sound and j
a “ signifies nothing. All has past, leaving noef* |
18 an memorials of its existence.
Hor has tho past year been wanting in events of!
Mcient interest, to mark it in the world's history, i
Bnkind have moved on deadly in the march of i
HFproveAent; discoveries have been made in art i
nod science, and civilization has rapidly advanced. I
Yfar, too, has signalized it above other years. The j
Eastern war, with its dreadful sufferings and horrible j
conflicts, will long serve to render this year memo- j
rrtble in the annals of the world.
The tablet of memory w ill long retain tho Irapres-1
.-.ion- which this year has made on its surface; but j
it cannot bring back one event, recall one misspentj
hour, revive ft single experience. While then we ;
dwell with melancholy pleasure on its joys, while wo j
strive to f rget its sorrows, wo should glean from its i
experiences rich* lessons for tho future; lessons of j
wisdom, patience, and prudence, which will make us |
wiser and betior for-long years to come. * j
The Ngw Ye*?.
The rolling course of Time has brought ns to the
beginning of another year. The festivities which
marked the close of tho departing year have ended,
and all classes have again resumed their labors and
cares, with renewed energies. Everything wears an
appearance of liveliness and animation, as if to har
monize wish the season. The bustle and confusion
attendant upon the many changes which are made,
render it a period of unusual activity. To multi
tudes, it is indeed a New Tear. They have entered
upon new vocations, are surrounded by new circum
stances, and must form new associations. Hope ;
sheds on them her benignant rays, and pencils bright
pictures of success and happiness for their future.—
Animated by prophet voice, they joyfully press
on to the discharge of their several duties. Even those
who move on in the same old course, without change
catch the inspiration of sympathetic
go to their daily toils. Far be
tiuxtteinpt. by any sage reflections, to cool
i the ardor of this universal zeal. We would rather
encourage and promote it. Wo would that through
out the voar, all may have those incentives to action
which now animate them. Earnestly wishing that
their fondest hopes may bo realized, their brightest
dreams prove true, sso bid each of onr readers a hap
py Now Year. *
Mill Burnt.
Mills belonging to Mr. Jesse Vcazcy,
Hkferro county, were entirely destroyed by fire

Wt W. Reid, of Greenesboro. The circum-
Ki.h< rase leave no doubt of it** having been
hr, incendiary, but no clue, whereby he
has a* yet bean discevsred. *
Extras.
\\ q Bend out a number of Extra copies of our pre
sent Gsue to persons not regular subscribers, hoping
that they may be induced, by our enlarged and im
proved appearance, to subscribe. Our Paper now
affords a larger amount of reading matter than any
in the South, for the same price, and wo are deter
mined to spare no labor in our efforts to make it
worthy of public patronage. We hope a large num
ber cl our friends will give us their names, their in
fluence and encouragement.

To the Students—At Home,

Death of Mr. G. P. Niekslsan.
It is with deep regret that we announce tho death
of our highly esteemed and worthy citizen, uncle
George P. Nickelson. lie died in Greenesboro on
New Year’s morning, at Mr. Wilson’s Hotel. Isis
death is rendered more lamentable from tho fact that
no ono saw him expire. He was found dead lying
in his bed, and no ono could tell how long since dis
solution had taken place. It is sap posed that he
died in a fit
G. J. H. Prior.
We have heard with sorrow of the death of the j
above named gentleman, a few weeks since, at his j
residence in Morgan county. He had been elected |
Principal of tho Preparatory Department of onr Uni- j
versity, for which position his attainments amply |
qualified him. He was highly respected for his rr.or- \
a’ worth, and won tho love and esteem of all with !
whom ho associated. Wo much fear that, the Pru- i
dentiai Committee will find difficulty in supplying j
the vacancy occasioned by hk death. * !
Judge Cone’s “Liquor” Bill
We take pleasure in publishing tho “Liquor'’ Bill;
which Judge C-one has lately introduced in our Leg- j
islature, to which me invito the attention of readers, j
in another column. It does not aim at an entire ’
prohibition of tho Liquor Traffic, nd of course fails i
to come up fully to what we do ire. It is, howroe,!
very good, so far eg it goes, and meets with our hear
ty approval. It would doubtless, greatly diminish
this horrid trade, nnd ameliorate the condition of so
ciety to an incalculable extent. By it, far more than
# moiety of tho miserable dramshops which disgrace
our land would be put down. The shameful riots
which attend our elections, and attach each lasting
odium to oar country towns, would, to a great ex
tent, bo avoided. We sincerely desire that tho Bill
may pass; bnt wc much fear that many Legislator?,
who hold their office by the franchise of drunken
men, will not proto so unfaithful to their constitu
ents as to give it thc-lr support. Wo aro happy io
see a men of such high standing nnd eminent abili
ties as Judge Cone, vigorously taking hold of this
important- subject. *

Dentistry.
Notwithstanding pork is going at 8 cents, and
wheat at $2 per bushel, we must have good teeth.—
Nothing is so indispensable to pleasant breath, a fine
appearance, a “clean” head, to rnanducating bread
crust, and eroding beef's flesh, as a nice set of sound
ivories; and wc would especially request those
w hose teeth are becoming shackled, to call on Drs.
Coe & Latimer, Wilson’s Hotel, Greenesboro, and
they will put them in fine repair. We recommend
this firm as high-toned gentlemen, and experienced
hands in ail that pertains to their profession. See
their advertisement in this paper.
Grapes—Southern Banner.
Our old friend, and cleverest of all human flesh,
I)r. Frank Hill, of the Athens Banner, acknowl
edges the receipt of some delectable California
grapes, from a friend, and, after surmising that
the fellow who, on one occasion, refused - grapes
on the ground that he never likod. his wino in
pills, would have made these an exception, and
then speaking of, and encouraging, tho culture of
grapes in the United States, he significantly inquires
where is John Seals and tho Temperance Crusader ?
We answer loudly and emphatically, Here, ejecting
from our mouth tho saliva, (created by his grape ac
; count) at a knot hole in the floor. When you como
1 to eating grapes, you can put us down for “four
| chances,” hut when you come to taking “wine’in
| pills,” and rot gut from “egg shells,” tee aint in :
, “Excuse me.” Where does friend Francis take his?
; perhaps from a private aperture in a “Holy Writ,”
or from an amphora of “vanilla syrup,” found under
: a soda fount slab.

A GOOD SPECULATION!
T OFFER FOB SALE, th.i valuable TRACT
A —Wing Creek, in Han
cock county, readily as having recently
belonged to R. BuriUcy. !&<p 0, contains IPSO acres,
more or less, about .loft cleared, the rest in the woods,
and i buzzard nothing in saying, that some of this
land is as good as any to be found in the county.— ‘
There are about 200 acres oak and hickory land, well
adapted to the growth of corn and cotton.
But to any one wishing to engage in tho Lumber .
businofts, this place offer* raro inducements. There :
is a good SAW MILL, with excellent water privileges i
on tha premises, and by a-small outlay in fixing up !
tho dan*, any one’ <Jf industry may soon realize tho j
amount paid for tho place. There are also, two sets i
of Mill Stones, which is an inducement to any ones
wishing to erect a Grist Mill. A good framed House 1
with several Negro Cabins stand nearby, for tho sc* :
commodatlon of a miller and hands.
Tho market for lumber is good. The mill Is t -to j
miles from Povrelton, ten from Sparta, and six from j
MavfleM Public roads paps by the the mill to each i
Vis these places, which bring thorn in direct commu- I
ideation/ The.route surveyed for tho Rail Road from 1
Warrcnton and Milledgeville is but a short distance j
fr om incline of the land, and if it is built, will make :
the tract almost invaluably. liti hto s.ll the whole 1
: in a bo ;y, but if desired, will soil in parrels to suit t
i purchas? jv. Several r'MgdV.e building sites, with;
\ good Spring?, make a diviCpa quite practicable. j
| A? Imn too far re oved to make these lands avail* j
I able, my residence being in the Southern portion of j
| the State. I ran determined to sell, and I promise any j
| one in want of such a place, that by applying to me !
. early, at Per; y, Ga., they shall have a bargain, cith*
i er for their own uso or for speculation.
